Henry Clay as a Poker Player.

Henry Clay's favorite recreation for
many years was a game of poker, to
which at one time he was passionately
attached, not for the stakes, but for
the distraction and excitement of the
game. Mr.. Winthrop says that there
is tradition that while Clay was visit
ing Boston, in 1878, and lodging at the
old Exchange Coffeehouse in Con-
gress street, servant rushed into the
parlor at which he was at the poker
table with few gentlemen of the old
school, and announced that the hotel
was on fire. ooh, there will be time
enough, think" cried Mr.. Clay, ito
finish our game" and finish it they did
before the hotel burned to the ground.
A SIMILAR tradition was current in Wash
ington at later period, that while Mr..
Clay was speaker he and his friends
had passed whole night at cards, and
were still going with their games when
the hour was close at hand for the
opening Of the morning session of Con
gress. "Wait few minutes, gentle
men," said Mr.. Clay, land / will wash
my face and hands and run down to
the House and call John Taylor to the
chair, and then / will cope back and
we will have another rubber Boston
